[QUOTE="Allen, post: 337584, member: 389"] Right! The keeping of money set aside to "pounce" may cause it to be sitting there earning nothing, or next to nothing, for how long until the market falls enough to push you into finally investing it? A year ago, the S&P was around 3900, and it peaked at 4700 around the end of December. Roughly a 20% gain. Just in the past couple weeks though it has fallen back down to around 4500. Which is about a 4.25% drop from Dec. So, if a person were looking for at least a 4% drop to employ that money, you would just now be putting it to work. Which means you would have lost a little over 15% by waiting for "the drop" since you are now buying at 4500 instead of the 3900 opportunity you had last year at this time. [/QUOTE]
